“…Discourses around “muscular liberalism” and Britain's Christian heritage have associated Britishness with Christianity (Cameron, 2011), and studies of British nationhood and civic culture have identified their Christian (Siedentop, 2014), indeed Protestant origins (Colley, 1992). Crucially, Christian nationalists move from “is” to “ought.” While public life is loosely secularist, notwithstanding continuing religious involvement in British political institutions and public ceremonies (Beckford, 2012), radical and far right figures have deployed rhetoric espousing “Judeo‐Christian values” to differentiate against an imagined other comprised variously of multiculturalists, Muslims, and secular cosmopolitans (Doyle White, 2019).…”

Having an Anglican affiliation is known to be associated with support for leaving the European Union (EU) in Britain. Religiosity, conceived as strength of religious attachment, has received comparatively little treatment. We investigate religiosity via electoral, household, and attitudinal surveys, distinguishing the effects of “behaving” and “believing.” The association between religiosity and EU Referendum vote choice and position is identified before and after inclusion of values, attitudinal, and civic engagement measures. Consistent with established findings, in socio‐structural models Anglicans are more likely to support Brexit than religious Nones. More frequent church attendance is associated with being more pro‐Remain. The Anglican effect is primarily mediated by anti‐immigrant attitudes, authoritarianism, and salience of ethnic identity, suggesting a Christian nationalist aspect to Leave support. The attendance effect is mediated by warmer attitudes toward immigrants, and social capital. Notably, those exhibiting stronger orthodox belief tend to feature a stronger attachment to “Leave,” with this partly mediated by authoritarianism. To evaluate the net effect of religion on civic life, we should pay more attention to the cultural content of religious beliefs, and how they structure other values and attitudes.

“…Lebanese people are similar in terms of heritage because they speak the same language. For example, the UK also has people with different religions because they are also from different heritage (White, 2019). Whereas in Lebanon, there is something common that holds the people together but people also got something that is different from one another.…”

Corporate Social Responsibility in Multinational Companies Based in Lebanon: Exploring the Role of Managers’ Individual and Situational Factors in Institutionalizing CSR

In a world that is becoming more unstable the implementation of CSR activities is changing. CSR started at the corporate level in a context that firm behaviour should move away from a concentration on profit seeking. Multinational companies (MNCs) must take responsibility for contributing (or not) to the progress of society, environment, and economy in developing countries as some large MNCs can have more economic and social power than governments (Garriga & Mele, 2004). Understanding how MNCs execute corporate social responsibility (CSR) in diverse and developing countries worldwide is still at an early stage, (Hah & Freeman, 2014). Microfoundational studies are vital because the understanding of how communication, cognition, and behaviour at micro-levels influence and are influenced by higher-level structures then permits researchers to develop a better understanding of diversity in institutional results. This study explores the practice of CSR through exploratory qualitative interviews using Lebanon as a case study. A major contribution is that the levels of CSR engagement are impacted by institutional theory. The microfoundations are thus institutional work, becoming institutional entrepreneurship at the meso level using that as a way to legitimize their operations in Lebanon. Macro and meso level aspects are developed from these CSR microdynamics. It also discusses how people who work in Lebanon make sense of CSR using an identified centrifugal approach and tailoring processes to suit the religious and social context.
